We are riding down the highway, 'US roads are great, massive and empty,' I accelerate and I feel Cassandra hold me tighter, 'She says she loves this,' My eyes look down at me speedometer, '90 miles an hour, nice, this thing is great,' I slow down slowly but Cassandra's grip stays the same. I have my sun visor flipped down as we roll down the highway, 'Still a few hours to go, this is going to be long, this is the longest part of the trip, if I go any faster, she is going to suffocate me.'
I sigh as I lie down on my bed. I am so tired, 8 hours of driving is long, much longer than I normally drive. She pulls off her jacket and dumps it on the chair in the room. I turn my head and she her pulling off her shirt. I turn around quickly to not look at her. 'What do I do?' She is now standing right behind me, "Can you put your shirt back on?"
"Shesh, I was only going to tell you that I was going to take a shower, and what's the big deal? Never seen a girl without a top on?"
"W-Well, n-n-no, I wasn't expecting to right now, can you just go?"
"Okay, but I take a lot of time to shower."
"Doesn't bother me," I sigh as she walks into the bathroom, "I guess you want to stay in the room, right?"
"Yeah, pretty tired honestly."
"That's fine with me," I remove my jacket and hang it, along with hers in the closet of the room, "What do you want to eat?"
"I don't know," I hear the water turn on, "What is there?"
"Loads of stuff, anything you want really," I say flipping though the menu, "What do you want?"
"I want something fancy."
"Well, I'll order, just take you time," 'There you go, Aristide, let's not overdo anything,' "So, I think this and this, I'll order it for a little later, maybe 9? Yeah, 9 makes sense," I sit back in the chair, "Did you have fun today?"
"Yeah, it was fun, yet, a little scary."
"You were holding me so tightly," I laugh, "So I guess you were scared."
"I've never been on one, that's why, and well, you weren't going that slowly either."
"Only 80 miles per hour, not much."
"That is really fast," She says as she leaves the bathroom. I turn to her and then freeze as my cheeks go red, "What? Oh, yeah, well, does it matter?" I turn away from her and hide her from my sight with my hand, "You really are nervous, aren't you?" She sat down on my lap, facing me, she was only wearing a bra and panties, "What? You can look if you want," I am looking away from her completely now, "Do what you want."
"I don't want to look and I don't think this is the thing to do, right, now," I say as my cheeks get even redder, "Please, can you put something on, even if it is just a top, just, just, like, please?"
"Okay, I'll put on, just, a, top," She smiled at me and got off of my lap, "Because clearly, you are fine with me just being in underwear."
"Your shorts are practically that, so I am used to it, the top, not so much."
"Now you can look, right?"
"Yeah, thank you," I look at her and she is just finishing putting a shirt on, "You are really pretty."
"Really?"
"Yeah, of course, why would I lie about that?" I say getting up and walk into the bathroom, "You didn't take much time actually."
"No, only 20 minutes."
"That was 20 minutes? Wow, I am tired," She yawns, "So are you I guess."
"Yeah, did you order the food?"
"No, choose what you want, then I'll do it."
"Okay, but are you really fine with anything?"
"I am not poor, just ask for anything, except booze, I don't want to have you drunk, or even a little drunk."
"Why not?"
"My view of you probably," I smile at her and she tilts her head, as if asking what I mean, I shrug and close the door to the bathroom, "I would never be able to take you seriously if you are one of those emotional drunks or one of those happy drunks."
"What does that mean?"
"I'll tell you later, I'll take a quick shower and be with you."
"Okay, take your time," She yawns again, "I am really tired for some reason, and you were driving."
"Tired from holding me so tightly?" She giggles nervously, "What? Maybe it is true, well, at least you'll sleep well."
"I hope," 'She is really something, isn't she?' "Hey, you want to play Never Have I Ever?"
"What is that?"
"We have like, points, and we say something that we have never done and then we have to put our finger down if we did, and then the other person says something, and so on."
"What happens at the end?"
"I don't know, that is up to us."
"Sure, let's play," I say walking out of the bathroom without a shirt on, 'She is staring at me,' "You want to play or just contemplate my body?"
"L-Let's play, wait, order the food first, I am starving."
We have our food in front of us and we being playing. Cassandra starts, "Never have I, um, ever punched someone."
"Nope," I shake my head, she looks at doubtfully, "I have never actually punched someone, tackling doesn't count, so, my turn, never have I ever, kissed someone," She looks at me and then lowers her finger, "Your turn."
"When there is one that is interesting we should say the story."
"Okay, well," I finish the food in my mouth, "Your turn."
"Never have I ever, um, traveled to another country."
"Now that is unfair, never have I ever, hmm, never have I ever, I really don't know," I take another bite of food, "Never have I ever had sex with someone."
"Nope, never did that, so, now, MY turn," She grins almost maliciously, "Never have I ever had a near death experience," I put my finger down, "Really? Wait, oh, yeah, the car thing."
"Yup, glass gashed my throat and I nearly died."
"You never told me details, your turn."
"Never have I ever, benched over 120 pounds."
"You have never done that?" She says as one more finger goes down, "I thought you would have."
"I haven't gone past that on the bar and I use a different machine for that."
"Well, I guess it is my turn, fuck, I really don't know."
"Just say anything."
"Never have I ever, never have I ever, watched anime."
"You got me," I put a finger down, "I watch so much of that stuff, I can't stand regular series, so anime is my stuff, never have I ever, hmm, never have I ever, met a powerlifter."
"You got me there," She sighs and puts a finger done, "2-2, huh?"
"Yep, your turn."
"Never ever, have, I, hmm," She sighed, "I don't know."
"I think we are too similar with ourselves and I guess both of us are good sports and aren't using cheap ones."
"Excuse me? You literally just."
"Shh, don't worry," I smile are her, "I know, just don't worry about that, I wonder how your parents are going to see me."
"As a giant."
"I guessed that, I AM a giant."
"Well, we have a long way to get to my house, so let's get going tomorrow, a little early."
"Okay."
